For a while I couldn’t figure out where the border was. Our driver didn’t really want to take us there, because the road was well off the main highway and full of potholes. He didn’t want to damage his car. He kept saying, ‘the border is just over there,” and pointing out the window. “Where?” we asked. But he just kept repeating the same phrase and pointing across the field. Eventually we asked him to stop and decided to walk. “Do you have good walking shoes?” Antoine asked. “Yes, of course, let’s go!” I answered.

  • Ukraine Scenario 1) Background A. Donetsk and Luhansk Are Rebel
    Ukraine Scenario 1) Background a. Donetsk and Luhansk are rebel-held parts of Ukraine, and have been since 2014. The regions have ethnic Russian majorities and rebelled over attempts to ban Russian as an official language and curtail trade across the Russian border. Many of the rebels advocate secession. b. Ukraine’s state power company claimed the regions were some $431 million in debt over non- payment of bills. Russia says that they will be providing power through pre-existing lines effective immediately to avoid loss of electricity to some 3 million people in the effected areas. c. The decision by the Ukrainian government to cut power to the region appears to be an attempt to put pressure on the secessionist movement, though ironically by forcing them to turn to Russia for electricity, they may further enhance the region’s link to the Russian Federation. Source: “Russia to Supply Electricity to Eastern Ukraine After Kiev Cuts Power: Ukraine Says Regions Weren't Paying Their Bills,” Jason Ditz, Posted on April 25, Anti-War.com website: https://news.antiwar.com 2) Context a. Areas in Eastern Ukraine (Donbas Region) have had power cut by pro-Ukrainian (Kiev Government) groups that control the highest capacity power generation stations in the country. These are the 4 operational nuclear power stations in western Ukraine which includes the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Station, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe generating 6,000 MW. This leaves the Russian controlled areas with a small number of lower capacity coal generation facilities to power the Donbas region with additional power provided by Russian power plants to support the area.

    CIUS Newsletter 2010 Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies 4-30 Pembina Hall, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2H8 Italian Scholar’s Lecture Represents a Milestone in the Study of the Holodomor The great Ukrainian-Kuban famine of 1932–33—the Holodomor—was one of the determinative events of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, it was largely ignored by scholars until the last few years of the existence of the Soviet Union. One of the scholars who began studying the famine in the late 1980s was Andrea Graziosi, now an internationally recognized specialist on the Soviet state and its policies toward the peasantry and one of the world’s leading authorities on the Holodomor. From 14 to 21 November 2009 he vis- ited Toronto and Edmonton to lecture on “The Holodomor and the Soviet Famines, 1931–33.” The title of the lecture is indica- Monument to victims of the 1932‒33 Holodomor in Ukraine on a hill of the Kyivan Cave Mon- tive of Dr. Graziosi’s comprehensive astery.
